Design Shanghai 2025

Design Shanghai stands as one of the globe’s most prestigious design events and is Asia's premier design showcase. Known for its continuous boundary-pushing innovation, Design Shanghai plays a significant role in shaping the ever-evolving design landscape of China. This influential event provides a platform for international and regional designers, artists, and manufacturers to present the latest trends, creative ideas, and groundbreaking innovations across multiple design disciplines.

In 2024, Design Shanghai will introduce a fresh, dynamic format with four core sections: Furniture & Lighting, Kitchen, Bathroom & Systems Design, New Materials & Applications, and Living & Lifestyle. These sections will collectively showcase over 600 carefully selected design pieces from more than 30 countries and regions, offering attendees an opportunity to explore the latest in design aesthetics, technology, and functionality. Whether it’s contemporary furniture, cutting-edge lighting solutions, or sustainable materials, Design Shanghai will present a rich array of products that highlight the global design landscape.

The event will also feature seven curated special sections: TALENTS, Neooold, Re:Materialize, Made in JDZ, Beyond Craft Japan, Collectible Design & Art, and Materials First. These curated areas aim to introduce new and experimental design concepts, providing a platform for emerging designers and established names alike to showcase their unique work. Additionally, three major conferences will be held during the event—the Design Shanghai Global Design Conference, the Design for Wellbeing Conference, and the CMF (Color, Material, and Finish) Conference—gathering over 200 design visionaries who will share their expertise and discuss the most pressing issues shaping the design world today.

With more than 80,000 professional visitors expected, Design Shanghai offers an unmatched opportunity for designers, architects, manufacturers, and industry professionals to immerse themselves in the world of contemporary design.

It promises to be an event not only to attend but to experience, with its emphasis on innovation, creativity, and the fusion of global design trends.
